Paws for life

Your local pet sitter in Richmond, flexibly available! Note: I have a small dog of my own, a friendly male Coton Du Tulear, Merlin 🐶🐾 Our home is nestled centrally in Richmond, where we have access to a small fenced garden. We also live nearby beautiful parks and can take your dog for short or long walks as needed. My husband, Anders, and I work from home with flexibility most days so perfect for day time walks and ensuring your dogs receives our attention and care. We can host dogs up to 15 kgs, as our house is small and I want your dog to have enough space to play and relax. Your dog will have free run of the house and can sleep wherever you prefer if boarding. Our dog, Merlin, is friendly and gets on very well with other dogs, he loves to play but will match your dog’s energy and respect their space. We usually take Merlin out for a 1 hour walk a day or for two shorter walks (about 30 mins each). We can fit into your dog's schedule though as Merlin is happy to go out at any time. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog can feel relaxed and at home. I understand that every dog owner has their own set of peculiar rules and I will take great care to follow all instructions and schedules provided. We only host one dog at a time, that way your dog can have our undivided attention. We'll provide regular updates, photos, and videos via Rover or WhatsApp, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is settled and having a nice time. Merlin, Anders and I are all eagerly anticipating hosting and getting to know your four-legged friend ^.^

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a comfortable and safe environment where they can feel at ease. This includes offering designated spaces for them to rest and play, regular walks or outdoor activities, and adhering to their feeding and medication schedules as instructed by the owner. Additionally, I ensure that my home is pet-proofed and free of any hazards.

Shahad has taken such great care of Babbie during her walks. She asks thoughtful questions, shows genuine care and attention, and always sends me photos from the walks, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend her 😊

I have know Shahad for five years. She is a very responsible and loving person. I have seen that she is meticulous in taking care of her own dog (Merlin), and has a particular weakness for dogs with big personalities. In the past, she took care of my dog, Nickie, and did an excellent job. I fully trust her to give as much love and care to any dog as she does her own.

A few things I would like to know about your dog: - any allergies or food sensitivities ? - how is their recall? - are they doing any training I should follow? - are they limited on walk-time or play-time (eg if they are young)? - do they have any phobias or allergies? - are you happy for them to go on the furniture? - do they have any habits I should be aware of? - kind of activities do they enjoy and what is their exercise routine ? - are they potty trained ? - have they had flea treatment ?
